About Us

WE TOOK OVER THE PARK IN APRIL 06 AFTER LOOKING FOR A PARK OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD FROM MID QUEENSLAND DOWN THE COAST AND THROUGH VICTORIA. IN FEBRUARY O6 WE WERE TRAVELLING WITH OUR TWO GIRLS(THEN 7 AND 12) IN OUR CARAVAN AFTER YET ANOTHER PARK HUNT WHEN WE WERE HEADING HOME TO OUR MECHANICAL BUSINESS OF 17 YEARS IN BROKEN HILL AND DECIDED TO REST FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS IN MILDURA. ONCE AGAIN WE HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OUR BROKER WHO INFORMED US THAT A PARK HAD JUST COME UP IN BURONGA. LOOKING AT EACH OTHER USELESSLY WE ASKED WHERE IT WAS AND IMMEDIATELY JUMPED IN THE CAR AND WENT FOR A LOOK.

AFTER A SWELTERING SUMMER THE PARK HAD TAKEN ITS TOLL AND LOOKED DRY AND DUSTY BUT THAT DID NOT DETER US(BEING FROM THE COUNTRY) AFTER ONE SNEAKY STROLL THROUGH THE BACK OF THE PARK AND ONE OFFICIAL VISIT OVER NIGHT WE KNEW IT WAS THE ONE WE WANTED AND COULD GET OUR TEETH INTO. IT WAS DECIDED EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TO START OUR GIRLS IN THEIR 1ST YEAR AT HIGH SCHOOL AND PRIMARY IN BROKEN HILL THE MOVE WAS A MUST. THE WORKSHOP AND HOUSE WAS PUT ON THE MARKET AND WE PACKED IN TWO WEEKS, PULLED DOWN THE WORKSHOP DOORS FOR THE LAST TIME, LOADED EVERYTHING ON TRAILERS, A BIG 1956 BEDFORD TRUCK CLINTON HAD RESTORED FOR WHEN EVER WE MOVED AND IN FRIENDS AND RELATIVES CARAVANS AND THE CIRCUS HIT THE ROAD.

OUR FIRST AIM WAS GREENING UP THE PLACE AND EVEN THOUGH THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD IRRIGATION LICENCE THEY DID NOT UTILISE THE FORTUNE OF THE MURRAY. OUR FIRST STEP WAS A PUMP, PLANTING OF GARDENS, CONCRETE SLABS TO REDUCE THE WATER REQUIRED AND MAKE THE PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WILL WANT TO COME AND STAY AND ENJOY RATHER THAN JUST ANOTHER PARK TO UNHOOK FOR A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AND DO THE TOURIST THING AND LEAVE AGAIN. THE REST IS HISTORY. WE NOW HAVE A REPUTATION FOR THAT REASON PUT EVERYTHING BACK INTO THE PARK TO SHARE OUR BACKYARD WITH EVERYBODY.

FROM NOVELTY FACES IN THE TREES, TO HIDDEN PIXIES IN THE GARDENS, MEER CATS POPPING OUT OF BUSHES AND FAIRY LIGHTS IN THE EVENING, FREE BBQS WE PUT ON WITH ENTERTAINMENT, NEW YEAR EVE CELEBRATIONS, FATHERS AND MOTHERS DAY BBQS, EGG HUNTS AT EASTER AND AN AURA OF CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FROM DECEMBER THROUGH TO THE NEW YEAR WE INVITE YOU TO COME TO OUR PLACE AND ENJOY NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF YEAR
